A Love from Afar

I am a love that hails from distant lands, where the seeds of nostalgia are sown and bloom in the heart’s fertile soil. I am a love that is both unsteady and inconsolable, a tempest of emotions, clothed in the dual attire of anxiety and joy. I am a paradox, a love that is seldom yet common, a love that is a dreamer yet grounded in truth.

I am the sun, radiant and warm, and the palm, steadfast and enduring. I am a love that is always reliable, always legitimate, a beacon of constancy in the ever-changing tides of life. I am a love that loves deeply, a love that embraces both the defects and virtues, understanding that they are two sides of the same coin, each adding depth and dimension to the other.

I am a love that will stay with you, a love that will never escape, a love that will stand by your side through the highs and lows, the joys and sorrows. I am a love that is the love of a refugee, a love that knows the pain of displacement, the longing for home, the struggle for acceptance. I am a love that is nothing more, nothing less, a love that is as profound as it is simple, as complex as it is pure.

This is my love, a love that is a tapestry of emotions, experiences, and memories, a love that is as unique as it is universal. This is my love, a love that is from a faraway place, a love that is unsteady and inconsolable, a love that is seldom but common, a love that is the love of a refugee. This is my love, and it is with this love that I love you.
